G20 must take action to fight protectionism and support trade finance to keep trade flowing
01 April 2009
Leaders of the G20 countries must coordinate their national policies to end the global recession, support a monitoring system to honour previous promises to reject protectionism, and restore trade financing to more normal levels, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) said today.
“Trade is the lifeblood of the global economy and the world needs more of it at this critical moment, not less,” said ICC Chairman Victor K. Fung. “The G20 summit in London provides the perfect opportunity for the international community to reassert its confidence in the multilateral trading system, which spurred the phenomenal economic growth of recent years and pulled hundreds of millions of people out of extreme poverty. At this time of world crisis we call on the G20 leaders to harness the political will to adopt policies ensuring job creation and long-term economic growth,” Mr Fung added.
ICC said the need for a credible monitoring system to combat protectionism was underlined by a recent World Bank study showing that since the G20 Summit in Washington last November, 17 of the G20 countries have adopted 47 measures restricting trade. Increases in tariff and non-tariff barriers as well as discriminatory public procurement policies, for example, require careful monitoring.

ICC Bulgaria holds first Banking Commission seminar
Sofia, 22 October 2008 − The first seminar of the newly created ICC national committee in Bulgaria was held 15-16 October at the Grand Hotel in Sofia. The event brought together more than 40 leading bankers to discuss the ICC banking rules and pressing issues in global finance.
The meeting began with a special briefing from the ICC Secretariat’s Policy Manager for the banking and financial sectors, Thierry Senechal, addressing the current financial crisis and presenting the ICC Banking Commission.
Mr Senechal discussed the devastating effects of the US sub-prime mortgage crisis. “A downturn in the housing market of the United States, risky practices in lending and borrowing, and excessive individual and corporate debt levels have caused multiple adverse effects on the world economy,” he said. “We have lived through many crises in recent years. At the end of each, the focus on avoiding the next one has always been the same trinity: more transparency and accountability, more regulations, and a total new approach on risk management. This is an inadequate response to systemic crises,” he added.
